Solution
The correct option is C307.6kcal CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g)△H0=42.8kcal CaO(s)+3C(s)→CaC2(s)+CO(g)△H0=111kcal
___________________________________________________ CaCO3(s)+3C(s)→CaC2(s)+CO(g)+CO2(g)△H=153.8kcal
Thus heat required to prepare 1 mole of CaC2 from CaCO3 =153.8kcal
Molecular weight of CaC2=40+24=64
64 g of CaC2 requires 153.8kcal of heat
128 g of CaC2 requires 307.6kcal of heat
